Rugby for Heroes

The Atlanta Renegades RFC is hosting the 1st Annual Rugby for Heroes rugby tournament. High School, College, Military and Men's Division I rugby clubs from across the Southeast will converge on Silverbacks Stadium for a full day of rugby.

What is different about this Saturday is that the tournament will raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and Paws4Vets. These two organizations provide support for our troops who have suffered battlefield injuries and trauma. All proceeds from the tournament will go directly to these organizations.

Couple things to think about:

1. This only happens once a year

2. These 2 organizations have a direct impact on the lives of men and women wounded overseas.

3. College football can wait - and if it can't - there's probably an app for that

4. Rumor has it there will be an incredible MILITARY FLY-OVER!

5. We're playing in a stadium......with real seats - you won't have to bring a folding chair
